  1. WI: Soundtrack to 1980s American War

    They would not be whiney anti-government songs like those of the Vietnam era, instead they would be synthpop angry ones!
  2. Russia and Germany invade England

    Ships boats and that was about it. Basically lifeboats.
  3. German carrier aircraft

    Well there is that. Good 'ol Super-duper Super-men!
  4. Kleinflugzeugträger

    Except its more expensive to produce, takes resources from the Luftwaffe (who would throw a screaming shit fit) has a larger crew, draws more fuel. Basically anyone who actually suggested this as being VIABLE would be either ignored, laughed at, 'retired' (put in an asylum) or shot in Nazi...
  5. Kleinflugzeugträger

    Short answer. No. Long answer. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO XT-002 Answer. NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!
  6. German carrier aircraft

    What was the actual rail system as I dunno much about it.
  7. German carrier aircraft

    Gun blast + wooden deck = issues. It could easily damage the deck.
  8. German carrier aircraft

    The standard 37mm AA gun of the German fleet at the time was a terribad peice of kit, not quite as bad as the IJN's 25mm gun but it was in a race for its title. The rounds had to be loaded manually, it wasn't clip or belt fed, it fired, it was individually rammed into the gun and then fired...
  9. WI: Poland Joins Operation Barbarossa

    I'm still wondering how the Nazi's have gone and ignored their whole lebensraum thing which was going to come at Polands expense, and the fact that the Polish Government went along with Hitler and friends who had such a stellar record of keeping to treaties and their word when it came to diplomacy.
  10. WI: Hitler was drafted into the Hapsburg army?

    GOOD END! *fanfare plays as the credits scroll*
  11. German carrier aircraft

    Yep the 5.9's were mounted like the IJN's Kaga and Akagi, in hull mounted casemates quite low down on the hull, they were not high up (someone realised they were heavy and wisely put them down low) on the ships hull or even on sponsons like the RN's 4.5's but casemate mounted (which would be...
  12. German carrier aircraft

    Don't also forget that the GZ was armed with 5.9 inch guns for dealing with destroyers and ANY MERCHANT SHIPS it encountered. The ship was designed for raiding. Which is a verrrrrry odd thing for a carrier to do. Re the list of the GZ, that became a thing when during her construction they...
  13. A WW2 Question - Royals injured/killed in bombing - what would the response be?

    I think even if Hitler and friends had the poor bomber crew who accidently (accident or not) dropped the bombs flogged, flayed, hung drawn and quartered and then the whole thing relayed to the British as a way of saying 'sorry, we actually really really didn't mean to do it' I don't think it...
  14. A WW2 Question - Royals injured/killed in bombing - what would the response be?

    Lets say that in 1940 some of the Royal Family (King/Queen/Queen Mother etc or the Princesses) are either injured or killed in an air raid. Not all of them but some (lets say Princess Margret is sadly killed whilst the King looses an arm). How would the UK/Dominion's react and what would be...
  15. The consequences of an errant shell

    IIRC the Royal Family didn't actually spend time in Windsor Castle during the War but stayed at Buckingham Palace mostly so hopefully there's no royal deaths.
  16. WI: 9/11 in Britain instead of US?

    But to attack Saudi Arabia = Oil crisis and econimic issues for the planet.
  17. WI: 9/11 in Britain instead of US?

    Assuming that its the same hijackers of the OTL 9/11 attack then what happens when it is a case of Saudi saudi saudi saudi.... We can't well invade Saudi Arabia.
  18. WI: 9/11 in Britain instead of US?

    If anything it was a letdown by the MOD itself to fail to supply decent kit, they found that out in Afghanistan and that was slowly being resolved and I think pritty much now they have replaced a lot of simply unsuitable kit. But then again I don't think anyone was really ready for Afghanistan...
